-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section IV - Special Moves
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Subsection D - Kamehameha)
Initiation - >E
Base Damage - 375
Description - Brings both hands behind him and energy flows strong enough to
create a ball of energy. He then throws the beam towards the opponent.
(Subsection E - Energy Field)
Initiation - <E
Base Damage - 638
Description - Brings hands to his chest, throws hands back, energy field comes
up and damages enemy within energy radius.
(Subsection F - Spirit Bomb)
Initiation - P+K+G+E when in hyper mode
*note that he must have started with 5 Ki Bars when first entering
hyper mode. He can use the move anytime after, if still in hyper mode, so long
as he started with 5 Ki Bars.
Base Damage Lose - 1080
Base Damage Win - 1978
Description: Cell does a backflip to initiate the move, then jumps up to persue
his target. The camera focus's on his face and it's assumed he punches, then
knee's the opponent. He then knees them again, this time knocking them up
higher. Cell flies past the opponent and stops to give them a good elbow in the
spine. He then watches them fall, only to raise his hands and give the
trademark saying "Okay planet, give me that stupid energy". After gathering the
energy he throws it at the opponent, saying "Be gone!". They catch the ball and
start holding it.
If you lose the struggle: Scene stays near the opponent, them cowering against
the massive ball of energy. They slowly crouch down into a blocking position,
and the screen goes to white.
If you win the struggle: Scene switches to cell hovering nearby. He starts to
speak as he's lowering a bit. "Didn't think you'd be this much fun". The scene
switches to cell slowly extending his arm as he speaks. "However, this is where
it ends". It shows his backside once again and he cries out after blasting the
ball with energy. The explosion then becomes larger and the area turns white.
[Explosion if on a destroyable area.]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section V - Dragon Rush Differences
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dragon Rush Breakdown -
Dragon Rush is rather easy to preform. It works just like using a Teleport
while your in hyper mode. Basically all you need to do is use an attack that
knocks the opponent away, and press Energy after it. Kamehameha is a good
example of a knockback attack.
During the sequence you will be asked to put in a button. If you and the
opponent enter the same button, the Dragon Rush is canceled, or ended there.
It is set up in 3 stages, or turns that you and the opponent get to play around
with.
Dragonrush is also used for fatiguing a character.
The first and second exections and failures are always the same, so they won't
be listed.
(Subsection H - Imperfect Cell Dragon Rush)
3rd successful execution - Extra 2 hits to Dragon Rush - Extra 100 Damage to
Dragon Rush
Description: Cell flies beneath the knocked away opponent and gives a heavy
kick to their midsection. He then flips up above them and drops down into them
with the bottom of his foot.
(Subsection I - #17 Absorption Dragon Rush)
3rd successful execution - Extra 2 hits to Dragon Rush - Extra 209 Damage to
Dragon Rush
Description: Cell flies towards the opponent and knocks them away with a heavy
punch. He continues to move around and charges a ball of energy, throwing it at
the enemy.
(Subsection J - Perfect Form Dragon Rush)
3rd successful execution - Extra 37 hits to Dragon Rush - Extra 285 Damage to
Dragon Rush
Description: Cell teleports infront of the opponent and elbows them in the back
as they fly by him. He then twists his body and kicks them off into the
distance. Cell promptly extends a finger and bombards the enemy with 34 lasers.
He then points his finger up and charges some energy into the last shot, only
to extend his finger and blast one last laser at the enemy.
(Subsection K - Super Perfect Form Dragon Rush)
3rd successful execution - Extra 37 hits to Dragon Rush - Extra 294 Damage to
Dragon Rush

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section VII - The Grandaddy of all Combos
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is by far one of the biggest combos I believe you can get. It's stronger
then the fabled "goku warp kamehameha combo" in Budokai 2. Based on fiddling
around with the various moves and techniques I came across a combo system that
worked and fused them all into one giant combo. I'm giving credit where credit
is deserved and yes, I created this. I don't know if anyone else has done it,
but I am going to be the first to write it off as my own. Well this is Cell's
almighty "ATP" Combo.
>P,P,P,P*,K,K,<K,K!,>K,K,>K!,P,P,>P,P,P,>P,>P,>P,P,P,E
Now that is a 22 hit combo by itself.
Damage is about 1414+, depending on where you hit the opponent with the Energy
Field.
Thats just in the #17 Absorption stage.
Now if you were to start this in hyper mode, it's possible to continue it even
further with the Dragon Rush.
#17 Absorption Cell's damage with the Dragon Rush's ability varies, because the
Energy Field tends to wipe him out, so you'd need about Five Ki bars which
makes it 2217+ damage, with a total of 37 hits.
It's great, but it could be better.
Super Perfect Cell's damage with the Dragon Rush is about 2463 or so, with a
whopping 72 hits. Nice blow to the damage and pride of the opponent. It varies
based on kamehameha and where it was hit.
Last four hits can be substituted for a Kamehameha combo which would use less
ki, and do a little less damage, not that noticeable though.
For a risky move try using the spirit bomb. It's not 100% guaranteed to hit
though. A good time to go for it is right when they are popping up off the
ground so you can smack them when they stand up.

Section VIII - Closing/Contact
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is my first In depth character guide. If you would like to contact me with
a question I have provided my e-mail at the top.
Any skills can be bought through the skill shop. Cell's breakthrough can be
bought once all characters have been unlocked, all the ultimate attacks are
acquired, and the baba's cystal balls have been unlocked as well.
Thanks for Reading, might make more in the future if demanded.
